The most likely outcome of low biodiversity in a farm field is:
**A disease or animal pest spreads quickly through the plants in the field.**
Low biodiversity means that the plants are more similar to each other genetically, which can make them more susceptible to diseases and pests. If a disease or pest affects one plant, it is likely to affect many others, leading to rapid spread.
